Jesus raises a little girl from the dead. In the account, His pity and power, even over death itself, is clearly displayed. As in the raising of Lazarus, it is an "open symbol of Christ's conquest of death and hell" (Warfield). Outline: (I) Entering into the narrative; (II) Drawing out lessons, general and specific (a sober lesson, a gospel lesson, a hopeful lesson).

Isaiah's vision of the Lord leaves him cast down to the dust, feeling himself ruined; but he is lifted up, being reassured of God's pardoning grace.
